"Red Sea" by Hunt Slonem is a radiant celebration of transformation and vitality, featuring nine vibrantly rendered butterflies set against a shimmering, textured gold field. Slonem’s characteristic use of gestural brushwork and vertical cross-hatching in vivid red creates a dynamic visual rhythm, as if the butterflies are fluttering through a cascade of light and movement. Each form is richly impastoed, their saturated colors—crimson, cobalt, saffron, and blush—floating like sacred icons. With its richly layered surface and opulent palette, "Red Sea" reflects Slonem’s deep reverence for beauty, nature, and the spiritual symbolism of renewal embodied in the butterfly.
